Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does photosynthesis (making glucose) occur?
A
mitochondria
B
stomata
C
xylem
D
chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is produced in the stroma of the chloroplast of leaves. Plants produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is mainly carried out by the mesophyll cells of the leaves. The mesophyll cells form the ground tissue in the leaf.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. In mitochondria, through the process of cellular respiration breaks down sugar into energy that plant cells can use to live and grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are present in the cells of all green tissues of plants and algae. Chloroplasts are also found in photosynthetic tissues that do not appear green, such as the brown blades of giant kelp or the red leaves of certain plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is a. cytoplasm. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.
